Kitchen storage containers can take care of this problem. They come in various sizes and shapes. Square containers that have button lids are a good choice. These come in many sizes, stack neatly and create an air-tight seal with the push of a button. Fill a tall skinny one with spaghetti, a small rectangular with rice and a large rectangular one with cereal. There are ones made specially to hold a 5-pound bag of sugar as well as a single sandwich.

If you cook at all, and yes, that includes opening a box, you spend time in your kitchen. And you use those things in your kitchen. Now, imagine being able to find everything you need in your kitchen with your eyes closed. Good kitchen storage lets that become possible.

One of the main benefits of using glass jars for storage purposes is that you can easily see what is inside them. Unlike tin canisters or even solid-colored plastic containers, you can easily see what is inside. Instead of wasting your time opening canister after canister to find the item you need, you can save time when you use glass jars.
